1966 Jan 6 Newcomers Among the Bands Listed to Play This Week 1 1966 Jan 6 Newcomers among the bands listed to play this week - The Renegades with singer Willie Sutherland, also Gerry and the Pacemakers. Good win for Buckie Rovers - The Rovers brought off a first class victory by beating Carnoustie Panmure by two goals to one. Matt Smith, a Findochty loon now living in Carnoustie suggested that the Rovers should buy basketball boots, which he reckoned would hold well on the ice-bound pitch. They took his advice and it was £6 well spent. Up against a strong side the Rovers adopted a strategy that was before its time. Alex Simpson was set to range behind Alex Jappy, centre half, in a 'sweeper' role or extra defender. Jan 13 Jones did good business at the Show - Messrs Jones Ltd, the Buckie shipyard got orders amounting to £25,000 at the Boat show in London. This could lead to work for additional 20 men. The Spey Mercia, the yacht the company had on show was built for a London businessman, Mr Wm. Wade The Drovers is a new name listed among the bands booked to play at the different venues this week. Fatal accident at Sherrifston, near Elgin , claimed the life of Buckie man, 29 year old Alistair Fraser when his mini car collided with a stationery lorry. Rovers out of luck in the draw- Buckie Rovers have been drawn away from home again. This time they will have to travel to Glasgow to play Cambuslang Rangers. The Thistle play a brother of Tommy Christie - John 'Busty' Christie was in the Buckie team against Rothes on Saturday. A Navy man he had just been posted to Lossiemouth.

Jan 20 To receive awards - Mrs Betty Flett and Mrs Jessie Flett who rescued a three year old boy from drowning in Findochty Harbour are to receive awards from the Royal Humane Society. Awarded the MBE. - Mr John Watt , a native of Fraserburgh and skipper of the Aden Fisheries vessel, Rizq-Al-Bahr that was built and launched in Buckie last year and then sailed to Aden was awarded the MBE in the New Year's Honour's List. Jumble Sales - These are still seen as a good means of raising money. Both the ladies committee members of the Rovers and Thistle are to hold one. The Mindbenders is a new name among the groups listed to play this week. Jan 27 There is to be no administrative assistant for the Town Clerk - After all the noise created both within the council itself and the general public the council took the decision now not to create this post but to upgrade one of the senior members of staff.

Built for Skipper Edward G. Fiske of Lossiemouth and his three sons it has been ready on the stocks for some weeks awaiting the arrival of her engine with delivery expected this month. Three other fishing boats are meantime under construction at the shipyard, one a 76' vessel for Kilkeel in Northern Ireland, due to be launched in March, and two 69' vessels, one for Portsoy and the other for Buckie. 2 Don't invite crime - This is the message the police are trying to put across. Thefts of articles from unlocked parked cars have been taking place on an increasing scale in the Buckie district of late. The police have issued a further reminder to all motorists in the area to ensure that their cars and vehicles are properly locked up and made fully secure with the ignition keys removed before being left unattended. Cars left in dimly lit areas are especially vulnerable. (In December 2001 the police were issuing a similar warning but this was to make sure to lock the doors of your house, even though you may be in. A great number of handbags and other small, but valuable goods, have been uplifted by bold sneak thieves coolly opening the back door and helping themselves.) A Flu Epidemic is meantime through the local area with school children being among those badly affected. Of the school roll of 645 in Buckie High School Primary Department 280 pupils were off this week. Findochty School has also been badly hit.

THE ONLY MAGAZINE BY FOR AND ABOUT TODAYS DANCERS "The situation in the '80s will challenge live theatre's relevance, its forms, its contact with people, its experimentation . We believe the challenge is serious and needs response. We also believe that after a decade of 'consolidation' things are livening up again. Four years ago an Honours B.A. Degree in Theatre was set up at Dartington College of Arts to meet the challenge - combining practice and theory, working in rural and inner-city areas, training and experimenting in dancing, acting, writing, to reach forms that engage people.

    Vol 53 Page 16 John Laming. Vol 51 Page 16 On your own, airline flying in the South Pacific before GPS. The island of Nauru, Latitude South 003.28.3, Longitude East 166.55.0, lies on the Equator where it circles over the Central Pacific. In 1976, when this story starts, it took just 25 minutes to ride around the island on my trusty Honda 50. An NDB and DME were the only navigation aids on the island. Both sometimes failed without warning. Local fishermen rely on the aerodrome beacon light for navigation in case the ocean currents drift them out of sight of the low-lying atoll. At night the beacon attracts sea gulls like moths around a flame. The F28 parked at Nauru with my Honda 50 in the foreground. A Vol 53 Page 16 In those days, Nauru’s runway was 5600 feet long and, with the ocean at both ends, there were no over-run safety zones. Air Nauru crews drinking at the bar of the island’s Menen Hotel agreed it was best to keep going if an engine failed within 15 knots of V1. An Australian- designed T-VASIS lay submerged under long grass surrounding the sealed runway. It too was unreliable, susceptible to vandals breaking the lights after dark. For the weary crews arriving from all points of the compass en route to Melbourne or Hong Kong, the VASIS was Vol 51 Page 16 indispensable. I was a passenger on an Air Nauru F28 that had just landed from Melbourne with stops at Sydney, French New Caledonia, and the Solomon Islands.
